...It appears he's level 100 at spreading his particular brand of quirkiness about as well.

Do you know where he is right now?

[teenspirit]

[ No, this is all natural. ]

Quite possibly he is still in his room? I'll go with you.

[inthebones]

And the other hamsters are with him?

[She doubted very much if rodent whispering was the skill that would lead them to the solution in this case, but it couldn't hurt.]

Very well. We'll pass through the study briefly to take a look as well.

[teenspirit]

Yes, he has the other three hammies. He... gave Sun-D to me, for protection...

[ She smiles and blushes and it's all very vomit-inducing. ]

Alright, let's go. [ She tucks Sun-D into one of the shirt pockets on the chest of her dress; the hamster pokes its head out like a train passenger. ]

[inthebones]

[oh
of course
suddenly the world makes a little more sense
it was amazing what hormones could accomplish even under the direst of circumstances
or well maybe because of the circumstances]

...I suppose if you expect to get killed at any moment, you might as well just speed things along a bit.

[That doesn't seem to have anything to do with what Sonia just said but Susan will turn to leave, regardless.]

Happy belated birthday, by the way.

[teenspirit]

[ Yeah, Susan's admittedly sick burn flies right over Sonia's head because she's still in La-La Land; that's probably for the best. ]

Thank you! Though this is far from the ideal place to celebrate...

[inthebones]

I would say we ought to have had celebration of some sort, anyway, but it seems a bit inappropriate at the moment. Perhaps we can slot it in before the next murder. ...Monday seems best.

[teenspirit]

[ As they make their way to Topaz, Sonia looks troubled. ]

It certainly does happen like clockwork.

[inthebones]

Is anyone really opposed to sitting in the ballroom day and night from Tuesday morning until Thursday or Friday from now on? I rather think it might help.

[teenspirit]

Oh! We could set up sleepin' bags! And it would be hella chunky!

[inthebones]

...I was hoping things would end up going more smoothly, actually.

[Chunky was what Susan thought of when she saw dismembered bodies. In any case, given that Topaz isn't too far down the hall, it probably doesn't take them long to reach it.]

You should probably retrieve him.

[teenspirit]

[ Sonia nauseatingly stops to smooth out her skirt and finger-comb her hair in a worried manner before she goes to knock on his door. ]

[godwhisperer]

[There's complete silence on the other end for a few seconds, before...]

Who dares disturb the slumber of the Dark Gods of Destruction? Speak your last words now!

[inthebones]

[She considers saying 'it's your lady paramour' before she decides that would probably lead them down an irrelevant tangent she didn't have patience for at the moment.]

We're reuniting them to tap into their true power.

...Just open the door, Gundam.

[teenspirit]

It's Sonia! And Susan! And Sun-D! Wow, all three of us have names beginning with 'S'- oh, I mean, please open the door...

[godwhisperer]

[And he'll open the door.]

Ahaha! The Queen of Darkness returns!

What do you request of me?

[inthebones]

[Susan is apparently the Queen of Irrelevancy when around these two but she'll butt in regardless. She's good at that.]

Someone's been murdered again - right around the time when you and Sonia were returning from your walk and heading upstairs. We'd like to know if you or the hamsters noticed anything awry. The death was in the Music Room.

[teenspirit]

Could you ask them to be sure?
